Excerpt of an email about Sakhon Nakhon:

After Udon Thani I took a bus East to Sakhon Nakhon, a lovely town full of wide, empty streets. While I was there I did a day-trip out to the small town of Tha Rae which hosts one of the largest Catholic communities in Thailand. Though they're much more infamous for butchering dogs and trying to sell the meat as beef in Bangkok.

I stopped off in the "dog market" and tried some dried-jerky. It was not bad and definitely tasted different from any other meat I've ever eaten. They became very agitated when I produced my camera however and made it quite clear that I was not allowed to take any pictures.
